Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit well at all and fixing a few of the aspects listed above wouldn’t help it either. If you are a hardcore fan of Paranoia then you should probably get this game, just for the sake of your collection. Everyone else should probably stay away. If the “stab your buddy” theme sounds fun we would recommend trying Munchkin or Dork Tower instead. They are both cheaper and you’ll get a lot more playtime out of them than Paranoia: MBFCG.
